    Bump field is in Austria. I'd almost wear that disco helmet, when I use to be good.

    Wow. That bump field looks like it could really deliver a licking.

    Well look what the cat drug in. You were missed at the finale. Little C wanted me & her to ski these monster Suncups. Lucky for me mom said no.

    tell someone they're lame because they snowboard and you ski

    uni ski clubs are awesome for this - the people who aren't as good always say something, the ones who can actually ski couldn't care less

I give zero fv<ks and have no qualms about eating it with the Ruroc, but maybe that's cause I'm old and I suck.

    The best I ever heard was in the 70's from an acquaintance: When asked by one of the group how he skied, "My skiing is best described as a series of linked recoveries." Never forgot that, it was so funny and partially true! He was kept in the middle in case one of his recoveries wasn't, and he had a yard sale.
